Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 235

After Hobert got the clue of the Skeleton Lord from Valentin's notes, he immediately decided to tell Dopheus the clue.

First of all, because of the previous agreement when Bakerland was assassinated, and secondly, after Dopheus became a demigod, Hobert estimated that he would also be able to follow suit.

But Hobert found that when he told the location of the Skeleton Lord, the expressions of Christine and Dopheus were a little strange.

Hobert asked, "Is there anything wrong with the contents of the notes?"

Christine asked back: "Are you sure the 'sage' who went with you to explore the ruins didn't touch this notebook?"

Hobert was taken aback: "I'm sure!"

Christine was silent for three seconds before smiling: "Dopheus, this is your chance to advance, but now is not the time to deal with the Skeleton Lord."

Dolphus nodded: "I know."

Seeing that Hobert still had doubts on his face, Christine smiled and said, "Your clue coincides with something we are planning."

Hobert said "Oh", so they suspected that Azik had learned of their plan.

He didn't have anything to worry about, because he knew that even if Azik knew about their plan, as long as it didn't hurt the world, Azik wouldn't bother to care about it.

This topic ends here. Christine talked about the geography and humanities of Colson County in the Kingdom of Feneport: "Although this county is all mountainous, there used to be a very prosperous waterway there, but more than 50 years ago, that The channel was suddenly interrupted.

"The cause of the interruption varies, with some saying that there was an earthquake that diverted the river.

"Some people say that the belief of evil gods appeared, and the Fenepot Kingdom and the Church of the Mother Earth gave up there.

"I have heard a reliable news, which should be the closest to the truth: an earthquake and a river diversion did occur, but many strange things happened along with it. In order to reopen the waterway, a demigod of the Fenepot Kingdom died in the Colson County. Both the royal family and the church believed that reopening the waterway would cost a lot and it was not worthwhile, so this area was basically abandoned.

"Currently, Colson County is the place where the Fenepot Kingdom exiles prisoners and grants fiefdoms to some 'false' viscounts and barons.

"For example, if someone has done meritorious service, the royal family wants to make him a baron, but they don't want to give him a land, so they seal him in Colson County. The baron who was sealed in Colson County knows that it is not a good place, and he doesn't want to be a baron. He will go to his own fief, and hang a title in Feneport City.

"It is said that over the past few decades, Colson County has become a lawless place."

In this era, there is no Internet, and there is no channel to obtain information about local culture, so whenever Hobert hears this kind of information, he listens very carefully.

After chatting for a few more words, Hobert said goodbye and went back to the bedroom to rest.

In the study, Dolphus asked Christine, "When are you going to tell Hobert?"

"Wait a little longer." Christine said, "Let him choose whether to participate or not."

……

Perhaps because of seeing the corpse of the ancient god of death, Hobert's astral body and spiritual body were greatly shaken, which made him have another night of nightmares.

For a while, I dreamed that I was chased by a black dog spirit beast, and for a while I dreamed that I was chased by the corpse of the ancient god of death. The skeleton lord, the coffin encountered in the spirit world, and some people killed by him also joined in the fun.

It was near dawn that Hobert slept more peacefully.

But today he was required to get up early, and after a simple breakfast, Hobert came to the law firm early with a yawn.

Jessica had long been waiting in front of Hobert's office with the documents in her arms. After seeing Hobert, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Lawyer Hobert, here are the documents you want."

Hobert didn't come yesterday, and she was afraid that Hobert would be late today.

Hobert took a few glances: "Very well, let's go to court with me."

Today is the court day for Miss Emma, ​​the street girl.

Jessica said with some concern: "Your state..."

This case has attracted the attention of the media. After all, many newspapers like this kind of pornographic news. Although Jessica knows that Hobert has no relationship with those street girls, it does not affect the media's speculation and compilation of this aspect. .

Hobert smiled: "It's okay, didn't the defendant not hire a lawyer?"

Amid Jessica's concerns, the two came to the Magistrate's Court together.

Originally, the Magistrate's Court didn't take this case seriously and arranged a court at random.

However, on the day of the court session, a large number of coquettishly dressed ladies with charming eyes, as well as many reporters asked to attend.

Those ladies found several clients who worked in the court, so the case was brought to the largest justice court in Backlund.

It can accommodate two to 300 people to observe, but there are still not enough seats for the audience. Many people stand in the corridors, doorways, and outside the windows to listen.

When Hobert and Jessica came to the court, the main entrance was already blocked. Fortunately, the two of them were agile and turned into the court through the window, almost missing the court opening time.

Emma the plaintiff and Wendell the defendant had already arrived, and Emma greeted Hobert with a smile on her face to sit beside her.

On the other side, the defendant Wendell's eyeballs were not enough, and he stared at a room full of gorgeous girls.

Soon, the judge was in place, and after determining that Wendell did not need a lawyer, the judge announced the opening of the court.

Hobert first expounded Wendell's crimes. Although it was only a simple explanation, it aroused public indignation and began to abuse Wendell.

The judge knocked on the gavel for a long time to maintain order, and then Wendell spoke.

This middle-aged man in his thirties was very arrogant: "I have been sued more than once, but without exception, they all failed.

"I'll say it again, money from prostitution is not considered legal income and is not protected by the law, you can't convict me at all!

"The lawyer assistant who tasted good before couldn't win the case. You, Hobert, no matter how famous you are, unless you can modify the laws of the Kingdom of Loen, you can't even think about winning the case."

These words caused a new round of abuse from everyone. As a Loenian, Hobert couldn't even understand what some street girls were cursing.

This made him feel the diversity of languages.

The judge's gavel was almost smashed, but it still failed to silence everyone.

After Hobert and Jessica's loud persuasion, everyone fell silent.

Few people attended the justice court. The judge who saw this scene for the first time wiped the sweat from his brow and said to Hobert, "The plaintiff's lawyer, the defendant is right. I really can't convict him."

Hobert smiled and said, "Your Honor, let's change our thinking. I will sue the defendant for fraud!"

No matter the people in the auditorium, the plaintiff Emma, ​​or the defendant Wendell, they didn't understand what it meant, but the judge's eyes lit up.

Jessica's eyes almost shone even more, and she muttered: "I learned, I learned, and I can still do this kind of operation."
